Choices, choices -- dry moat, wet moat. Isn't evaporation a problem there unless they dig a seawater canal? Then it would be Gaza Island, not the Gaza Strip.

They better not use CATERPILLAR bulldozers to dig that moat!!

By the way, if sKerry gets elected, do you think he'll go there some day and proclaim: "Mr. Sharon, fill in this moat!"?

A moat...with drains at several spots in the middle...to be occasionally opened...to discourage tunnels underneath!

Sounds like a plan to me!

Fill it with water. Make a deal with Egypt for the land that would be required if necessary, it would make a great place to build a resort if it was wide enough. Do one of those "neighbor" things with half on your side, half on theirs and you pay for the thing.

Actually, I'd wondered for years why they didn't do this to stop the tunnelling.

Will the moat be filled with salt water or fresh water? Fill it with saltwater, that way they can't use it to drink or irrigate.

I don't know if piranha or crocodiles can survive in a saltwater.

So fill it with sharks and stinging jellyfish.

I actually thought more along the lines of a ditch full of wild boars, though.

15 metres (50 ft) to 25 metres (80 ft) deep and stretch four kilometres (2.5 miles).

The moat would only be 2.5 miles long, so apparently most of the tunnels are dug under that small an area. Hmmm, and they aren't dug deeper than 80 ft. max....

All right, dig that moat! And don't fill it with water, leave it dry and mine every square inch of the bottom and sides.

a mistake, I think....
Find the tunnels, bug them for sound and video covertly. There is equipment to find tunnels. And the tunnels mapped out the outlets could be covertly bugged too. All who enter the tunnels could be recorded and watched. A tunnel could be a gold mine of information.. The Isrealis could also dig a few intersecting tunnels or expand the ones known.. Sounds like an opportunity not negative.
